A core reason why Farage and other far right leaders have managed to pretend they are the voice of the "left behind" is because of the classism of the media, political and academic elite Diverting attention on the far right and blaming it on the working class has been very useful to prevent change

Guardian headline:
Nigel Farage is a political fraud ‘cosplaying’ as working-class champion, TUC chief says

Exclusive: Paul Nowak acknowledges voters’ frustrations but says Reform UK hasn’t got the answers, and urges Keir Starmer to resist any move to the right

Your bills are going up because this government would rather protect the profits of a few corporations than the livelihoods of millions of ordinary people. End this outrageous rip-off, and take water and energy into public ownership now.

I do not need to read an auto biographical essay opining the brilliance of jacket potatoes. I already know they are amazing, that’s why I want to eat one!?!?! I just need to know how long to put it in the microwave and the air fryer. GIVE ME STRENGTH.

I’ve been wondering whether I’m getting too sucked into US politics and how helpful that is to my own activism etc. Then, yesterday I actually got confused about which BBC headlines referencing horrendous cuts to government departments were in the US and which were in the UK 😳

£6 billion in cuts to welfare & disability benefits that will push 700,000 into poverty — instead of taxing the super-rich. Spending on weapons of destruction — instead of helping the world’s poorest. These political choices are cruel. This isn’t the “change” people voted for.

That must be one of the most Orwellian statements ever. It’s bad enough to cut people’s benefits. To pretend some kind of higher “moral” duty while you’re doing so is insulting and offensive

Labour is anxious to reduce the rising welfare bill as it plans boosting defence spending at a time when the Chancellor is perilously short of extra cash

Why are there revenue protection “cops” on trains now? I don’t know, maybe spend the money on manning stations and/or making trains more affordable?

Ok, don’t know if it’s just because the algorithm just doesn’t know what else to give me but 20/25% of my feed on here is cats. Even though I keep clicking “show me less cats” I have nothing against cats, I’m just not that into them in the way Bluesky seems to think I am… anyone else?

I read a reimagining of Colossians to my church community today. In case anyone else needs to hear: “Do not let people tell you that empathy is a sin. As God’s children – sacred and beloved – wrap yourselves in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience…

This is the time to lead with gentleness. With delight. Fascism thrives on equating power to might. Being tender and bendable and loving — and still here — is our super power. It shows what a farce false power is.

Nothing about yesterday’s march on BBC homepage all day, certainly no mention of horrific police violence. 100,000 people protesting a war we’re complicit in isn’t newsworthy. Now Corbyn and Macdonald are being interviewed it’s the 5th story… Not surprised, but it still makes my blood boil!

One of my goals for 2024 was to get a poem published, and I did it! (Even if it didn’t come out til 2025 😆) Check out this poem, inspired by the most incredible interfaith activism I was blessed to be part of, in Bad Apple Magazine: badapplemagazine.org/wp-content/u...

A Paradise Built in Hell was one of the most impactful books I read last year. I’ve thought about it every day watching reporting from California. People are good, we know how to care for each other. Don’t let politicians or media tell you otherwise. (Thanks for the tip off @margaret.bsky.social!)

Most religions will simply not make sense when viewed through the lens of an oppressor. They only make sense through the lens of the oppressed. Religion and empire simply do not and can not mix. They are antithetical to one another. It always ends in violence.

I’m no fan of Starmer, but sending a cease and desist letter because he contributed to you losing your seat - when that’s literally how election campaigning works - is wild. The person most harming Liz Truss’ reputation is, no surprise, Liz Truss… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
